Ling Xiao’s sudden disappearance did not dishearten Ling Lan much. From the moment Ling Xiao appeared, Ling Lan was already prepared that he would disappear quickly, just like Xie Yi.
Is it worth it? Ling Lan frowned. She thought back to Xie Yi’s question about regret.
They appeared to tell me something, but because of the rules, they can’t say it directly, so they can only give me an indirect reminder. Ling Lan understood what was going on, but her answer was also her true thoughts. Since there had been no changes until now, it meant that she still hadn’t comprehended the catalyst.
Ling Lan knew that this was probably her last chance, but she also knew that forcing herself to search for the so-called answer would only lead to her going astray. Thus, she was not anxious and continued walking forward.
If her spirit dissipated without finding that catalyst in the end, it could only mean that she, Ling Lan, was still not strong enough to pass this life-or-death juncture. There was no need to blame anyone. She could only blame herself for being too weak, and that she was not strong enough to control her own fate.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, just as Ling Lan found herself almost exhausted, she suddenly saw someone squatting not too far away from her.
Ling Lan was surprised by his appearance, but when she thought about it, it made sense.
With just one step, Ling Lan arrived beside that person.
“Zhao Jun!” Ling Lan shouted calmly.
Zhao Jun seemed to snap awake. He looked up and saw Ling Lan. He was elated.
“Boss Lan, are you here to take me back?” Zhao Jun asked agitatedly.
Ling Lan looked at Zhao Jun, who was different from before, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes. She slowly asked, “What’s going on?”
“I don’t know. I blocked Lord Kun’s attack that meant certain death for Lanfeng and woke up here…” Zhao Jun was extremely distressed.
“How long have you been here?” Ling Lan scanned the silent world and thought of another possibility.
“I don’t know either. It feels like a lifetime has passed but it also feels like I just came.” Zhao Jun was a little blank.
“What are your thoughts?” Ling Lan asked seriously.
“I want to go back. Our comrades are still fighting. I have to go back to them and fight together with them.” Zhao Jun’s eyes were filled with anxiety. He seemed to have been trapped here for a long time and had been fighting for a long time. Yet, he also seemed to have just arrived and knew nothing about this place so he was at his wit’s end.
“Boss Lan, you’re here to bring me back, right?” Zhao Jun looked at Ling Lan hopefully. In the hearts of his comrades, Ling Lan was omnipotent.
Ling Lan suddenly sensed something. She glanced at Zhao Jun and didn’t say anything. Then, she slowly stepped back and pulled away from Zhao Jun.
“Boss Lan, why are you retreating?” Zhao Jun was puzzled. He wanted to follow Ling Lan but found that he couldn’t move at all.
“Damn it, why did you seal me up here? Boss Lan, what is going on? What is going on with this strange world?” Zhao Jun roared furiously, wanting Ling Lan to give him an answer.
Ling Lan, who had retreated more than ten meters, looked at Zhao Jun, who was struggling furiously, and said calmly, “Zhao Jun, in this world, there is no one you can rely on. You are courting death if you place your hopes in others.”
“Courting death?” Zhao Jun was shocked by Ling Lan’s words and stopped struggling.
“Yes, I won’t take you away. If you don’t want to die, break free from this world on your own,” said Ling Lan coldly. “People without ability don’t deserve to live.”
“Roar!” Zhao Jun roared angrily. The outcome he had been looking forward to had ended up in this manner. Zhao Jun was furious. Was this still the Boss Lan he respected?
